VS Battles Staff Timeline

[Kepekley23]

VSBW currently has 600 active users, the Star Wars wiki has 580, everything else worth a mention is in the mid 400s to low 200s range.

The top 3 is

VSBW: ~600

Star Wars Wiki: ~580

Superpower Wiki: ~560

According to the community wikia count on the subject.

@Kep

Man, only 600? That's a tiny amount, tbh, considering even small subreddits usually have a couple thousand present users.

 

[Antvasima]

Okay.

 

[Saikou_The_Lewd_King]

Well VSBW is hardly a regular Wiki, given how we must constantly keep up to date rapidly changing information and standards, plus the addition of new franchises and characters daily, etc., so it makes sense why we have more active users than other Wiki, who aims for a more static website.

Also nice job indeed Ogu. Surprised how early I joined, even predating the likes of Matt, Ever and Dragon.

Also notable, if a bit sad, that you can clearly see the line when the "purge" happened, with many lines stopping right at the same time.

 

[NyogSothep]

I'm not an administrator or bureaucrat or anybody else, but it's really great!

That's the number of subscribed users, not the amount of present users.

You'd be surprised at how gobsmackingly small the number of activeusers in each subreddit is. Sure, AskReddit has millons of subscribers, but I have seen a post estimating the number of "power" (frequent) users on the entirety of Reddit in the mid hundred thousands to low millions with the help of moderators from big subreddits, IIRC.

600 also felt rather tiny to me personally, though.

 

[Hagane_no_Saiyajin]

I don't see my name up there!

 

[Kaltias]

It's a timeline of the staff members, not all users

 

[Captain_Torch]

Wow, this is amazing

 

[Starter_Pack]

Exquisitely done! Not many people could spend that much time building a graph like that. Well, without getting bored first, anyway.

 

[Mr. Bambu]

I really didn't think I was on there since I forgot I joined back in 2016, was kinda excited the meme of me not being staff was catching on. RIP the dream.

 

[Amelia_Lonelyheart]

Surprisingly, it's bigger than most notable wikis in general.

• Bulbapedia: 429 users
• MarioWiki: 376
• TFWiki.net: 224
• Wowpedia: 136
• WikiZilla: 91
• Zeldapedia: 58 (wow)
• KHWiki: 41
• WikiSimpsons: 37 (d'oh)

 

[Dino_Ranger_Black]

@Darkanine Wow.....that's way lesser members than I expected those wikis to have.

 

[Kepekley23]

I'm surprised Bulbapedia has fewer users than we have, considering how huge it is.

 

[Almighty_cat_of_doom]

Neat, almost makes me wanna join, though it would probably mostly be for fixing minor miss-spellings and stuff - which a regular member already can do(I think).

 

[Dargoo_Faust]

Trust me, with our size, users like that are more than welcome.

 

[Wokistan]

I think he meant join as staff, which isn't really how it works.

Rather than people applying, they get selected by preexisting staff through a vetting process, and it can take a while. If you stay out of trouble, are polite, and help the wiki out, you may eventually be spotted by someone though. Worked well though for me.

 

[WeeklyBattles]

I was actually out of the staff and then back as a janitor for a while before i became an admin

 

[CrimsonStarFallen]

Strange how Everlasting went from Discussion Mod, to Admin, back to Discussion Mod and then back to Admin.

 

[Almighty_cat_of_doom]

As Wokistan said, I refered to joining as a staff, which I know isn't just as easy as saying "hey, I'm a staff now".

And I think my contributions tells that better than anything that I'm far from being in the position to become one either, as well as how lazy I am.

But I am willing to help with the little I know and are capable to.

Thanks anyway, Dargoo, appreciate it.

 

[Uninown]

This looks like a lot of effort was put in. It amazes me how a wiki project "for fun" grew into this. Good job.

 

[Amelia_Lonelyheart]

Ogurtsow as a whole amazes me.

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

Yeah, Ogurtsow's awesome!

[Lorenzo.r.2nd]

holy noodle... ant, no offense, but boy, are u old compared to me. i feel like i was born yesterday. hearing names back nad forth, names i never even knew existed. its like going to my granduncle's house on christmas.

 

[Antvasima]

@Ogurtsow

I noticed two things that need to be corrected. One is that DontTalk/DontTalkDT was a regular member for a while before he became a consultant, and another is that I had an early gap in my activity, due to being banned by SeiryuShin (He lifted the ban after 6 months and helped me to become promoted though).

 

[Antvasima]

Also, Burning Full Fingers, ALRF, and Legion350 are still active, but only as regular members (by their own choices).

 

[Ogurtsow]

1. I've added another time span between his second account's first edit and becoming a consultant.
2. Also added. If you think it would be interesting to see which staff members were banned in the past, I will add such time spans, but excluding current perma-blocks of retired staff members.
3. All retired staff members are currently at «empty» space without any color graph.

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. Thanks. No problem.

 

[Ogurtsow]

Question: will this be updated?

It can be updated as many as possible times. You can add my personal page to your watchlist to check for updates if you wish.

Wow this is amazing. But did you make the timeline graph manually?

Edit: sorry about the stupid question

[Ogurtsow]

Also guys: thank you all for your responses and feedback. I didn't expect that this thread will blow up that much.

[Idol_of_Legend_and_Elimination]

Ryu and SD was blocked for like several weeks iirc

 

[Antvasima]

Ryukama was only blocked for 1 day, and that was because I was much more stressed out and inexperienced about running the wiki back in 2015. Still, it was inappropriate, and Ryukama is now one of our best staff members.

SomebodyData was only blocked for 2 hours in 2015 (after Azathoth reduced the block), but that was also inappropriate.

 

[Kepekley23]

Speaking of staff members that were blocked by people in here..

 

[Wokistan]

Imagine being blocked by your own sock, smh really feel for Kep here

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

Yeah, it's important to note that we were nowhere near as secure back in 2014-2015 as we are now. We had very few staff members and some of the few were even more strict due to our lack of proper and/or civilized management and were thus ill equipped to deal even the lightest of potential trouble makers compared to now.

There are quite a few staff members here who were surprisingly once or twice blocked despite some not as well behaved staff members not receiving any sort of block even once. Won't name any examples, but I think a few of them are more obvious.
